Nimrod GabrielWhen thinking of gift ideas in London, there’s a good mantra to go by – a material object will bring short term happiness, whilst an experience will last a lifetime.
If you’re stuck trying to think of creative gift ideas in London for your friends/boyfriend/girlfriend/mum/dad/sibling, debating which t-shirt, bag or bottle of perfume to buy them (snore), just remember that in two years’ time, whatever you buy them will mostly likely have been forgotten or thrown away.
Instead, why not give them a gift of experience this year? Not only will the memories last a lifetime, but who knows, they could discover a new skill or passion they never knew they had…
We’ve carefully selected 7 experiences which make perfect gift ideas in London and which may turn into true, undiscovered passions!
